Anirudh Overtakes AR Rahman in Remuneration Race!

Music directors play a crucial role in shaping the success of a film, and in India, there are many who have made their mark. However, only a few consistently deliver music that resonates with everyone. Today, we compare the remuneration of two top music directors who are known for producing super hit tracks - AR Rahman and Anirudh Ravichander.

Anirudh Ravichander, a young sensation in the industry, has quickly become a hot favorite for directors and producers. While filmmakers used to wait eagerly for AR Rahman, now they are lining up to get Anirudh’s dates. His ability to elevate even average films with his music has made him a highly sought-after composer. Whether the movie succeeds or not, Anirudh's music never fails to captivate the audience.

Anirudh has risen to stardom in a short span, working across Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi films. His recent work on the Hindi film Jawaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Nayanthara, and Vijay Sethupathi, was a massive hit, with the film grossing ₹1,150 crores. Directed by Atlee, this film further solidified Anirudh’s status as a top-tier music director.

His latest Telugu film Devara also garnered immense success, with both the songs and background score impressing audiences. In addition to these, Anirudh continues to sign high-budget projects, securing his place as a leading composer in Tamil cinema.
